Frosted Flake Crusted Chicken Wings
Yields: 4-6 servings Prep time: 20 minutes (plus optional marinating) Cook time: 30-40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes, separated)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika for extra flavor!)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste, flakes add some sweetness)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tender chicken)
- 3-4 cups Frosted Flakes cereal, lightly crushed (you want some texture, not just powder)
- Cooking spray or a few tablespoons of melted butter/oil (for baking)
- Optional: Hot sauce or your favorite wing sauce for tossing after baking
Instructions:
- Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness!
- Optional (for extra flavor/tender): You can marinate the wings in buttermilk for 30 minutes to a few hours in the fridge before proceeding.
- Set up Dredging Stations:
- Bowl 1 (Dry Mix): In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
- Bowl 2 (Wet Mix): In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Bowl 3 (Frosted Flakes): In a third shallow bowl, place the lightly crushed Frosted Flakes. Don’t crush them too finely; you want some flake texture for maximum crunch.
- Coat the Wings: Working with one wing at a time:
- First, dredge the wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, letting any excess drip off.
- Finally, generously press the wing into the crushed Frosted Flakes, making sure it’s completely covered. Press the flakes onto the chicken firmly to ensure they adhere well.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the coated wings on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Leave a little space between each wing for even cooking. Lightly spray the coated wings with cooking spray or drizzle with a small amount of melted butter/oil.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the Frosted Flake coating is crispy and golden brown.
- Serve (Optional Sauce): Once baked, you can serve them as-is for that pure frosted flake flavor, or toss them lightly in your favorite hot sauce, honey-garlic sauce, or sweet chili sauce for an extra kick!
